Funny thing: a lot of the natural looking lighting tricks were a combination of knowing your light source, proper shading to highlight it, and using the light from the scanner via blank or lighter inking in certain zones in the animation cel, giving 90s anime a look that is near impossible to replicate digitally. It's a master work in practical effects.
The problem with current anime is they're trying to use awful looking shades of colors that just look so off. Look at Boruto and One Punch Man season 2 for reference. Absolute garbage.
first thing i noticed. Maybe back then it wasn't normal to strip your hair of oil every day with shampoo? Everything looks so glossy, i like it, i don't think that's a bad thing

That attention to detail. The melting ice cubes, the streamers from the firecrackers, the bbs in her hair, and the headphones falling as she wakes up. The roommate describes how she tried to wake her up but failed. I didn't even notice it the first watch
Gets even better down the line. The movie that comes after S1 especially is just... really, really good in that department. Admittedly 51 episodes before you get to that movie, but to this day I still think it's worth it. (After that, though... well, S2 and S3 were a mess, to be nice.)
90’s anime just hits different. So many things now are too obviously digital and (I wish there were a better word for this) lazy. Of course, you can blame it on an increased workload pressure to pump out episodes so fast.
The series was first adapted to an OVA series, which is where this clip is from. Generally, most 80s/90s OVAs had better animation since they weren't restricted to spreading the budget on more than 25-50 episodes.

You should check out Riding Bean. Protagonist is so strong and such a sound sleeper his partner couldn't even wake him up with a stun-gun. She finally had to put a cast-iron skillet was making eggs with on his face just to get him upright.

It's a slice of life with adults from the 90s, which is really uncommon. So it's a window into what that era was like. Seeing it now, I'm reminded of the days I was in front of my tv as a child, wondering what the adult world was going to be like. It's almost sad, as by the time I became an adult, the world was so radically different that I never got to experience it
Damn that hits it pretty dead-on. I also always wondered why so many anime backgrounds looked so 'futuristic' and it turned out that's just what Japan looks like. The adult world isn't as cool as I thought it was going to be.

Theres just something about these older anime designs/artstyles that I love. The way they do lighting, the way stuff like hair is drawn/shaded and the animation too just gives it so much personality. Shows like this one, Trigun, Cowboy bebop, full metal panic, black lagoon, sailor moon and initial d.
Nothing wrong with that, theres always time to change that. To be honest ive only just recently started watching Sailor moon so im only part way through the original series atm. And im sure the emprah can forgive you 😄
@@ScienceDiscoverer I used to watch Sailor Moon in the 90's, but didn't understand anything. I still love it. xD I also liked Trigun and Black Lagoon when I got to watch them years later. Also try Samurai X and Ghost in the Shell (forget that silly CG-adaptation).
Yet sadly, even towards the end of the series, Miyuki and Ken never solidified anything of their relationship, they never confirmed being a dedicated couple or not. But Ken finally proposed to Miyuki in Full Throttle (season 3, which was even a poorly-received season, mind you), so there's that.

I think OVAs from the 90s used to be so good because well...they're OVAs, unlike TV anime they're not bound to release one episode per week, it's just ONE good episode every full moon. So the animation team gets more time to work on it. More time given to the animators usually results in better animation.

For anyone wondering, the character designer for this series is Kosuke Fujishima, of _Ah! Megami-sama!,_ _Sakura Wars_ and the _Tales_ series. He's basically a legend. The man definitely knows how to draw hot babes.
@@SVSkyI see what you did there lol. Fujishima has pretty much become the character Daimaru Nakajima from the manga he made (which is also the anime shown here!), Taiho Shichauzo/You're Under Arrest. For context: Daimaru - who is the father of the guy in sunglasses in this video, Kenny Nakajima - is an old guy who is into vehicles (particularly motorbikes, he is a legendary racer). Like Fujishima, he marries a young woman, in his case one who is 19 years old. That woman becomes Kenny's stepmother and is understandably something he didn't handle well at first. I guess Fujishima predicted his own future when he made that character.
@@ScienceDiscoverer An organization/convention created to vibe-check people who were too based to not commit war crimes. Unfortunately the international judges aren't known for a sense of humor.
love the reflection in the clock at the start, such attention to detail. The dialogue sounds really natural compared to what I'm used to with more modern anime.
There is something so nice about how lovingly and carefully everything is drawn and how simple but expressive tha faces and movements are, it's a shame a lot of modern anime lost this specific vibe I'd genuinely rather wait another year for titles to drop to enjoy it all over again
Loved watching this as a teen, it was aired in some latin american countries. I think I had a crush on Miyuki and could relate a lot with Nakajima rewatching this... it's hilarious how they're all grown people acting like high school haha
Some anime are more adult than others, but "adult" here doesn't mean sexual or gruesomely violent, it just means it targets a grown-up audience. Even thought the characters are all cops in this one, they make stories of day-to-day life in the workplace, so working adults can relate. Japan still makes anime like this, but tragically those don't get imported to the West. This is the kind of an anime that you can enjoy when you come home tired from work and just want to see something easy to watch before going to bed.
Closest thing the uk had to this at the time was soaps like eastenders and coronation street but half the time characters were getting killed off to maintain ratings whenever the holidays rolled in.
Imo since Lucky star & K-on become popular anime these days just like all about fan service & moe stuff then isekai genre somehow hit popularity and there we go.. a lot of boring generic anime these days ( ofc some still good )
We didn't, just that it became harder to find series like that. It was already hard at the time tho, but after Evangelion came out series immediately dropped in quality because of crunch culture and people who wanted to make money riding the anime wave. It was one of the main catalyst as to why anime nowadays is a looking around trash until you find something interesting.
@@EphemeralPseudonym The Summer season had at least 3 series that in animation were amazing (as far as I watched) which are: Zom 100, The girl I like forgot her glasses and Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd season. Honestly, the 3 are a good watch but completely different when it comes to story. Then again, the rest have that low quality anime style and it's around 35 of them 💀
I just watched this episode for the first time a couple of weeks ago and instantly liked Yoriko after this and several episodes of the anime. She's cute/adorable and has a funny voice.
@paleoph6168 I'm watching the subbed version. I'm not too fond in watching anime with English dub since is not my mother language and barely know some VA names. Althought I've started to watch several cartoons of my childhood on English dub
The voice acting somehow feels so natural, i doubt it represents how real japanese actually speak, but the banters and the shouting felt real, not overdone but dramatic enough that you could feel their actual thoughts
I can't get over how 90s this is. Specifically, 90s _anime,_ complete with a soundtrack that sounds barely removed from the 80s. This is one of those shows that, even as an anime fan in those years, I never checked out, because anime was finally beginning to become oversaturated with options and it was no longer the case that I would consume anything and everything. But I'm thinking maybe I should check it out now.
Miyuki Kobayakawa is Best Girl. She's a motor head, she's kind, compassionate, good with children, she cares about her friends, she's diligent about her work & cares about the community.
The best girl is Yoriko and that's very clear as she has all those same traits minus motorhead while also having a much more endearing personality and character design.
Something about gear head chicks that really tickles my pickle. Give em some overalls maybe a grease mark and a wrench and I'm on it like white on rice.
This got me to watch the whole episode, and it's surprisingly wholesome. Had a smile the whole way through. Also the way they do lighting is quite stunning.
I started watching the first season not knowing that the first 4 eps were made as OVA, and I was suprised by the high production quality. Then I watched ep5, first ep made for the TV series, surprised by the low production quality... That experience was something. (Quality went back up a little after a few episodes)
@@Joshua_N-A Come to think of it, it kinda is huh. I guess watching the Patlabor TV series first helped me with the expectations. I think I also knew the Patlabor OVA and the TV series were separate things (and the story/timelines were obviously rebooted in each entry + manga) albeit all connected in some ways as a series.
This is why I looove 80s & 90s anime so much 💖 beautiful animation, great voice acting, vibey music, and the warmth of audio&visual distortion from analog media *MUAH* PERFECTION
Now I finally know where the Yoriko who called for artillery attack to target in the civilian area came from. Because when I was watching Yoriko calls in Artillery on a Civilian Area [Ah, eto... bleh!], I wanted to know where she was from.
Memes and funny aside, the animation, storytelling, the 80s-90s feel and the attention to detail is just soo good and so satisfying to see. I really miss this kind of animation. Might as well watch some of the oldies.
Nuremberg 1945 International Court: "You have been charged with crime against peace and crime against humanity. How do you pled?" Yoriko: "Ah, Eto Bleh 😊" International Court: "That was adorable. All is forgive. You're free to go. Sorry Poland, at least you had some work to do"
This is very controversial topic, really. There was a lot of fabricated accusations at that trials, and Germans who acknowledged and confirmed this fake accusations where spared or given prison sentences (even if they themselves did a lot of hairy shit), but those who tried to stick to the truth was executed, even if they, themselves, didn't done much of a crimes.
@ScienceDiscoverer a lot of people confessed to things under duress. confessions on war crimes came from men whose testicles had been crushed beyond repair. Nuremberg
Poland? What about Russia, Ukraine, Belarus? Especially Belarus, it was almost completely destroyed. Not to mention 10% of Kazakhstani and many many many other nations
The first 17 seconds are the reason why I love anime. The colors, the style, and just by itself can be a good presentation about what animators can do if they were given the freedom
You’re Under Arrest is my all-time favorite anime. Great story, cool cars, and characters that are too likable to pick a favorite. Also, that damn Honda Today and Motocompo.
Now I know the origin. Thank you so much for sharing. this is gold. I gotta watch that series now I guess. I've been on a nostalgia kick lately. Golden Boy, Patlabor... I'll watch this after I finish the intimidating Patlabor series.
whoever made that tweet about looking at anime girls over time like a breed of dog that has gotten more deformed in the name of cuteness was so correct, these characters are so naturally charming without looking like a homunculus lol
Though I was born in 2000, 90’s anime really hold a special place in my heart. The character designs and art style of the cities, lighting, even the soundtracks (such as the one in the beginning of the video or the part where Nakajima was talking to himself at 2:59) are always so great to me

There was someone on twitter that showed how to do it easily using blender or something similar

I guess Fujishima predicted his own future when he made that character.
Yeah, especially, his wife.
This anime's product placement was legendary. She's even wearing Sony CD-900ST's at the beginning.

This is some great animation, thanks for posting!
Sis got turned into an Xmas gift.
Yes, Santa, I would like to have that, please, I was a good boy! ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
Well well well Ho Ho Ho because it's December baybeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
love the reflection in the clock at the start, such attention to detail. The dialogue sounds really natural compared to what I'm used to with more modern anime.
I love the girl's voice who wears the glasses. Also, the music is so nice. The 80's and 90's were such great times.
My type of girl, damn. Gotta look out for this anime now.
Im in love with her wtf
She's a cute patootie ❤
There is something so nice about how lovingly and carefully everything is drawn and how simple but expressive tha faces and movements are, it's a shame a lot of modern anime lost this specific vibe
I'd genuinely rather wait another year for titles to drop to enjoy it all over again
Loved watching this as a teen, it was aired in some latin american countries. I think I had a crush on Miyuki and could relate a lot with Nakajima
rewatching this... it's hilarious how they're all grown people acting like high school haha
it's because Japanese high schoolers act like primary schoolers
late development aigh
“Están arrestados”
"Grown up people acting like high-schoolers" just shows that creators cannot write their characters
@@harunatsu6756 Go to any work place and you'll find most adults still act like teenagers.

Some anime are more adult than others, but "adult" here doesn't mean sexual or gruesomely violent, it just means it targets a grown-up audience.
Even thought the characters are all cops in this one, they make stories of day-to-day life in the workplace, so working adults can relate.
Japan still makes anime like this, but tragically those don't get imported to the West.
This is the kind of an anime that you can enjoy when you come home tired from work and just want to see something easy to watch before going to bed.
Closest thing the uk had to this at the time was soaps like eastenders and coronation street but half the time characters were getting killed off to maintain ratings whenever the holidays rolled in.
Man, there's so much personality in this anime, the animation, the voice acting, the details, when did we stop having these...?
Because nowdays is quantity over quality
Imo since Lucky star & K-on become popular anime these days just like all about fan service & moe stuff then isekai genre somehow hit popularity and there we go.. a lot of boring generic anime these days ( ofc some still good )
We didn't, just that it became harder to find series like that. It was already hard at the time tho, but after Evangelion came out series immediately dropped in quality because of crunch culture and people who wanted to make money riding the anime wave.
It was one of the main catalyst as to why anime nowadays is a looking around trash until you find something interesting.
At the time only 12 or less anime aired a season. We currently have around 40 a season. Despite the plummeting workforce, too. Gee, I wonder why????
@@EphemeralPseudonym The Summer season had at least 3 series that in animation were amazing (as far as I watched) which are: Zom 100, The girl I like forgot her glasses and Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd season.
Honestly, the 3 are a good watch but completely different when it comes to story.
Then again, the rest have that low quality anime style and it's around 35 of them 💀
I just watched this episode for the first time a couple of weeks ago and instantly liked Yoriko after this and several episodes of the anime. She's cute/adorable and has a funny voice.
Did you watch the sub or dub?
Nevertheless, the VAs for Yoriko really fit her character well.
@paleoph6168 I'm watching the subbed version. I'm not too fond in watching anime with English dub since is not my mother language and barely know some VA names. Althought I've started to watch several cartoons of my childhood on English dub
The more time passes, the more I appreciate pre-2006's animation.
The voice acting somehow feels so natural, i doubt it represents how real japanese actually speak, but the banters and the shouting felt real, not overdone but dramatic enough that you could feel their actual thoughts
This is exactly the thing that stuck out to me and the reason I want to watch this in full now. I never feel that from anime.
I can't get over how 90s this is. Specifically, 90s _anime,_ complete with a soundtrack that sounds barely removed from the 80s. This is one of those shows that, even as an anime fan in those years, I never checked out, because anime was finally beginning to become oversaturated with options and it was no longer the case that I would consume anything and everything. But I'm thinking maybe I should check it out now.
Miyuki Kobayakawa is Best Girl. She's a motor head, she's kind, compassionate, good with children, she cares about her friends, she's diligent about her work & cares about the community.
YES
She even has a Wikipedia page dedicated to her! Miyuki is easily the best officer in Bokuto Station.
The best girl is Yoriko and that's very clear as she has all those same traits minus motorhead while also having a much more endearing personality and character design.
@@DeadManWalking-ym1oo Women gossip. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Something about gear head chicks that really tickles my pickle. Give em some overalls maybe a grease mark and a wrench and I'm on it like white on rice.
the guy's glasses make him look like he's constantly looking up with teeny tiny pupils
Why is her voice so cute, it's like two octaves higher then I would guess looking at her
Failwife was a VERY popular archetype up until the mid-2000s
5 minutes well spent.
This got me to watch the whole episode, and it's surprisingly wholesome. Had a smile the whole way through. Also the way they do lighting is quite stunning.
Omg the animation and character design of this anime is so beautiful
Man, the OVA had a lot more budget than the series, and it shows.
But that's how it used to be with OVA's it's to show the idea/concept of the show.
I started watching the first season not knowing that the first 4 eps were made as OVA, and I was suprised by the high production quality. Then I watched ep5, first ep made for the TV series, surprised by the low production quality... That experience was something.
(Quality went back up a little after a few episodes)
Patlabor started that way too but the Early Days OVAs are a part of the movie universe.
@@Joshua_N-A
Come to think of it, it kinda is huh. I guess watching the Patlabor TV series first helped me with the expectations. I think I also knew the Patlabor OVA and the TV series were separate things (and the story/timelines were obviously rebooted in each entry + manga) albeit all connected in some ways as a series.
That 90s anime animation really is beautiful
*When it's good!
Ep5 of the TV series looked like *ASS.* lol
OVAs in particular.
I watched this video and went on to watch every episode of Taiho Shichauzo including Full Throttle and the movie. Thank you, amazing show.
What a lovely show. Should give it a watch.
the voice acting is so good wth
0:32: Sounds like something out of Kirby
Probably the same keyboards being used for it.
Sounds more like Klonoa imo
Definitely a water/beach stage.
The lighting, energy and anime features from this peculiar moment in time have a vibe that I don't know how to describe, a good feeling
This is one of the reasons I still love the “Under Arrest” anime series.
TOMBOYS EVERYWHERE AND NOT A COMPLAINT IN SIGHT
Natsumi Tsujimoto!
4:40 The entire squad in mourning. Even if she had been stolen away he’d have plenty of shoulders to cry on, such good bros.
the style is exquisite, and the animation is perfect.
Bro looked up, and jiggled for 10 unadulterated frames
Wait this is actually quite good!!! I really like it!
This is why I looove 80s & 90s anime so much 💖 beautiful animation, great voice acting, vibey music, and the warmth of audio&visual distortion from analog media *MUAH* PERFECTION
0:40 truly the most important part of the backstory now we know the lore.
90s anime is all I need.

90s anime art style is such a vibe.
The context makes it so much better, thank you for this!
Now I finally know where the Yoriko who called for artillery attack to target in the civilian area came from.
Because when I was watching Yoriko calls in Artillery on a Civilian Area [Ah, eto... bleh!], I wanted to know where she was from.
Memes and funny aside, the animation, storytelling, the 80s-90s feel and the attention to detail is just soo good and so satisfying to see. I really miss this kind of animation. Might as well watch some of the oldies.
Nuremberg 1945
International Court: "You have been charged with crime against peace and crime against humanity. How do you pled?"
Yoriko: "Ah, Eto Bleh 😊"
International Court: "That was adorable. All is forgive. You're free to go. Sorry Poland, at least you had some work to do"
Expectation: this comment
Reality: You're going to Brazil 4:59
This is very controversial topic, really. There was a lot of fabricated accusations at that trials, and Germans who acknowledged and confirmed this fake accusations where spared or given prison sentences (even if they themselves did a lot of hairy shit), but those who tried to stick to the truth was executed, even if they, themselves, didn't done much of a crimes.
@ScienceDiscoverer a lot of people confessed to things under duress. confessions on war crimes came from men whose testicles had been crushed beyond repair. Nuremberg
Poland? What about Russia, Ukraine, Belarus? Especially Belarus, it was almost completely destroyed.
Not to mention 10% of Kazakhstani and many many many other nations
@@Tito_michiYoriko only annexed Poland.
WOAH, looks like this is a hidden gem from 90's!
Thx for "blast from the past" video!
The first 17 seconds are the reason why I love anime. The colors, the style, and just by itself can be a good presentation about what animators can do if they were given the freedom
Don't forget the music!
@paleoph6168 Although it could be something more, this was in the 90s, so it fits perfectly
Thanks for the upload.
The animation, music, voices, everythings so lovely
One of my fav anime even after so many years it's still so comfortable to watch! Thank you for this I just got hit by nostalgia
soundtracks is groovy! especially around 0:31
Look up "youre under arrest, dressing for work" thank me later😁
nothing is there 😞 @@epicneoblade
i am so obsessed with the way they draw girl's hair here oh my god. it looks so good
idk how to describe it... but i REALLY love the way voice actors sounded back then. idk it sounds so like... crispy.
The animes of the 80’s and the 90’s are peak. The hairstyles, the shadowing of it, the details
You’re Under Arrest is my all-time favorite anime. Great story, cool cars, and characters that are too likable to pick a favorite.
Also, that damn Honda Today and Motocompo.
Same, it would kinda fun to own a motocompo. Been collecting cels, posters, and manga from this anime.
Where can i find it? It looks mad funny
Man the beginning part bring me back to 90's, miss those days...
Now I know the origin. Thank you so much for sharing. this is gold. I gotta watch that series now I guess. I've been on a nostalgia kick lately. Golden Boy, Patlabor... I'll watch this after I finish the intimidating Patlabor series.
whoever made that tweet about looking at anime girls over time like a breed of dog that has gotten more deformed in the name of cuteness was so correct, these characters are so naturally charming without looking like a homunculus lol
Yoriko voice sounds cuter than expected i think thats why shes like that
The background settings in 90's anime are so beautifully ethereal
This was actually really well made and funny. I need to take a dive into some more 90s anime
that eto hehe and the music right after it are both legends....
この時代のアニメは素晴らしすぎる
声優に最強作画、セル画全部好きすぎる
Yoriko has one of the cutest voices I've ever heard in anime.
Ah, eto… bleh!
Thanks for the upload. I just saw this is on hidive so I'm gonna check it out
Best meme I just learned the context for.
The style, animation, and voice acting just oozes personality, I love it!
Context makes it so much better, now I want to watch the whole series!
Goddamn that stuff is crisp. Oozing character, too. 5 minutes but I'm already invested in the characters!
Though I was born in 2000, 90’s anime really hold a special place in my heart. The character designs and art style of the cities, lighting, even the soundtracks (such as the one in the beginning of the video or the part where Nakajima was talking to himself at 2:59) are always so great to me
90s anime just has this vibe that can never be topped and will always make them timeless classics especially when it comes to the art.
I think this can be attributed to them not using computers and digital art. When technology gets involved, people get more and more lasy.
I didn’t realize this had subtitles and just went “ah yes, the context”
There is something deeply relaxing about old anime. Love it.
The voice acting here is a lot more pleasing than in other anime I've seen
Older animes always have the most majest soundtracks of all time
Oh no they're sending her to Brazil
I saw this video once and now I have watched through the entirety of the anime in two days free time thank you
I'm always so happy when memes get big from something that makes me feel nostalgic every time I see it.
This looks really good, I'll be checking it out! Thanks!
